228 Confrontation between the sky and the sea

Qi Yiming originally looked down upon the air defense capabilities of British warships. The only thing that looked decent was the point air defense Sea Dart missile, and its range was far less than the Standard-L missile or the Thorn-L missile used by China.

The remaining air defense missiles such as Sea Wolf and Sea Cat have basically the same range as close-in defense missiles such as Sea Gongyang and Kill You 300. However, well-trained Nanjie pilots will never be able to reach within 6 kilometers.

launched an attack on the British army within the volley range.

You often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. There are more than ten British warships on the sea, nearly a hundred anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missile launchers. If even a single aircraft cannot be hit by such a density of firepower, then Britain, a long-established naval power

It's really a wasted reputation.

After a Flying Leopard was shot down, the Nanjie fighter planes became more cautious and careful in their actions, trying to avoid the British air defense fire range and not gambling on their own luck. In addition, the three-ship model has a sea javelin with a range of 70 kilometers.

The destroyer, immediately marked as an important target second only to the aircraft carrier, was attacked by a group of flying leopards.

Compared with the Invincible-class aircraft carrier, the destroyer was built to make space and weight for numerous weapons and electronic equipment, so the hull was very thin, which can be called a thin-skinned and large stuffing. The British also suffered from this in the Falklands War.

The trouble with the design is that this type of destroyer has extremely poor survivability after being hit by an anti-ship missile.

The two Flying Leopards that circled in a circle formed an attack formation and fired a total of four Eagle Strikes in succession. Their target was another type destroyer, HMS Edinburgh. After the Falklands War, the type destroyer installed several 2mm guns on the ship.

There were air defense aircraft and US-made close-in defense guns, but even though the Edinburgh tried its best to intercept these four missiles, it could only watch these anti-ship missiles hit the hull of the ship in an erratic trajectory.

The nerve knife of the close-range defense gun is fully demonstrated in this scene.

Because one of the missiles was fired a little high, it missed the 46-inch naval gun turret of the Edinburgh and did not directly hit the ship. However, the other three hit the hull of the Edinburgh, and another one hit the hull of the Edinburgh.

Even better, it drilled directly under the waterline. The big hole that exploded instantly raised a water column, and then the raging sea water immediately poured into the ship. Coupled with the action of two other missiles that caused a violent explosion, the Edinburgh had actually been lost.

Balanced, turned to one side.

No one could stop a large ship of 5,000 tons from capsizing into the sea. In the shocked eyes of the British soldiers, the Edinburgh was completely flipped into the sea. What was exposed to the sea a few minutes later was actually the bottom of the Edinburgh.

.

There is also a Lynx anti-submarine helicopter in this airspace, which took off from the Edinburgh. However, in such a battle, the helicopter seemed particularly embarrassed. If they had not taken off just now, they would definitely be trapped in the overturned hull at this time.

, but now they are in low altitude, but they are good targets.

This Lynx helicopter is not ordinary because it carries a special person on board. He is Prince Andrew, who once participated in the Falklands War and currently serves in the 702 Marine Squadron of the British Army. He is also the second son of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

Newspapers once circulated the story that he flew a plane during the Falklands War and used a reflector to interfere with the Feiyu anti-ship missile. This matter sounds like a fantasy novel to professionals, and it cannot be ruled out that it is for publicity.

Jokes made by the British royal family.

Originally, in this war, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II strictly ordered not to allow her second son to participate in the war. However, the young and enthusiastic Prince Andrew ignored the objection and said that since he was a member of the British Navy and his comrades had gone to war, he could not

Enjoy the privileges and watch others shed blood. Prince Andrew's bold words were naturally published in the news media and aroused unanimous praise from public opinion in the UK.

But no one thought that Britain's opponent this time would definitely no longer be a lame character like Argentina. It was impossible for the Yugoslav Liberation Army to give the prince the opportunity to use a reflector to "smartly catch flying fish".

A Xiaolong had long since discovered this helicopter flying alone at low altitude, seemingly trying to avoid the battlefield. Based on the simple thought that landing more points would be an achievement, F aimed at the big Lynx and fired a PL-Fighting

Missiles. The missiles slanting down from the sky easily hit the helicopter, which could not escape as nimbly as a fighter plane. In fact, fighter planes fighting helicopters were always massacres.

The Big Lynx tragically fell into the sea with a member of the royal family. As for Prince Andrew's life or death, no one knows now.

The attack on the British fleet has not yet ended. The fleet of aircraft with a total of 64 Eagle-83KR Spoon Leopards is so luxurious that it scares the British army. During the entire Falklands War, the Argentine Air Force used Exocet missiles.

It’s a count-and-shoot attack, and the Nanjing Liberation Air Force’s Eagle Strike missile attack is basically free. Two missiles hit the opponent’s ship. If the effect is not very obvious, several Flying Leopards are not willing to wait a little longer to see the ship.

Does it still have combat effectiveness or will it sink slowly? Instead, it will throw a few more missiles at it until it is seen that the ship is surrounded by fire or capsizes directly.

After more anti-ship missiles were dropped, more and more British warships were hit. After the sinking of the Edinburgh, the remaining two destroyers also suffered a disaster. The greatest threat to the South Liberation Army Air Force was

It was finally impossible for the sea dart to be fired again.

The other core aircraft carrier of the British army, the Invincible, which also participated in the Falklands War, was not much better. When several escort ships beside her were dismantled by the flying leopards, there were almost none left.

With no way to fight back, a flying leopard that was completely relieved suddenly rushed into the sky. When it climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters, it then rushed straight towards the Invincible like a condor swooping down at extremely high speed.

This is definitely not a standard fighter-bomber attack action. It may be the whim of the pilot, and his goal is also very clear. The Invincible also has the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft, destroying her flight deck and completely rendering it useless.

The attacks of anti-ship missiles are all horizontal, basically they can only hit the broadside. However, Feibao, which made a straight up and down nearly vertical dive, used its position and gravity to shoot out the last two Eagle Strikes - just like that.

.

The moment the missile broke away, Feibao immediately raised its nose. This type of fighter-bomber does not have very dexterous maneuverability. If it loses control, it will probably fall to the flight deck together with the missile. The pilot is not planning to be a god.

The Wind Attack Team would naturally not be so crazy.

Any ship is almost helpless against vertical attack weapons. Two anti-ship missiles directly penetrated the front and rear of the Invincible's flight deck, completely destroying her ability to take off and land aircraft. Moreover, with the help of gravity and its own engines,

At such a high speed, the missile penetrated the flight deck and then continuously penetrated the decks in the three-layer hull. If it had been stronger, it might even have penetrated the bottom of the ship.

After several waves of attacks, the flying leopards of the two brigades threw away all the anti-ship missiles under their wings. Their results were also very glorious. The two aircraft carriers were hit in multiple places. The Ark Royal had begun to tilt and would sink soon.

The main deck of the Invincible was destroyed, two Type 2 destroyers were sunk, one was severely damaged and lost its combat effectiveness, two frigates were sunk, and two were damaged. The originally majestic British task force was actually in the South at this moment.

The Jie Air Force's men could only tremble and tremble.

The air battle in the sky was still going on. The Flying Leopards began to retreat after completing their strike mission. At that time, the British army had already taken off more than ten Sea Harriers and started to fight with the Xiaolong in the air. However, the performance of the Sea Harriers was much worse.

He is just a person who delivers food and receives lunch.

Although this aerial battle was not brutal, it was still extremely difficult. The Xiaolong's main task was to protect the attacking flying leopard, and the Sea Harrier attacked the flying leopard as soon as it came up, and the Xiaolong had to intercept it.

Originally, the Xiaolong could rely on its own mobility and speed to ravage these clumsy sea harriers in all aspects. But with the involvement of the flying leopard, the Xiaolong had to engage in close combat with the sea harriers.

Fortunately, the maneuverability of the Flying Leopard itself is not comparable to that of a half-baked L fighter like the Sea Harrier. When the Sea Harrier wants to bite the Flying Leopard's tail, the fighter bomber immediately turns on the afterburner and performs a relatively violent maneuver to evade, while the Sea Harrier

It was not easy for the harriers to keep up with them. At this time, the chasing Xiaolong immediately launched missiles or opened fire, knocking these unscrupulous sea harriers out of the sky.

Because there were too many planes in the sky, the fight became extremely crowded. The Sea Harriers that were constantly hit fell from the sky like flies infected with insecticide. Some of the flying leopards that had dropped their bombs also carried two bombs.

Or add four combat bombs to join the fight with the Sea Harrier.

When two Nanjing fighter jets besieged a British fighter jet, the Sea Harrier, which was already at a disadvantage, became even more helpless to fight back. The air battle lasted for more than 40 minutes. Although there was no exciting chase and attack, it was good at small attacks.

With range coordination and excellent use of its own performance, the TiNan fighter jets still easily destroyed the thirteen British Sea Harriers. The slight flaw was that a Flying Leopard was blocked by two crazy Sea Harriers and was blocked by two AIM9s.

It crashed after being hit. This was the second fighter plane lost by Nanjie in this battle.

In an ordinary battle between three or four fighter planes, this situation is unlikely to occur. But with dozens of fighter planes fighting in the sky, it is easy to cause such an accident.

"The second strike echelon will enter in 10 minutes." The first batch of flying leopards has completed its attack mission, and the following two groups of flying leopards will completely bury the British fleet.

"Start preparing the relay guidance mode to guide the shore-to-ship missile forces to attack." This position is almost the limit range of the 62 attack. Qi Yiming mobilized a missile battalion to the closest position before starting to prepare for the attack.

Just when Qi Yiming was about to accept this victory, bad news also came one after another.

A frigate that was judged to have lost its attack power somehow resumed the operation of its anti-aircraft guns. A flying Xiaolong was continuously hit by sudden 2mm anti-aircraft guns. The pilot was worried that the hit fuel tank might cause an explosion.

Skydive immediately.
